it is difficult to say what is happening in rural america in general. what we have found is, particularly in the south and southwest, rural school districts have been consolidated almost to the hills. very large districts in very large districts in their role self. we think, to a large extent, we have reached the economies of scale in these communities. that makes sense for those communities. but what happens, for the most part, you do not achieve cost savings and the quality that most proponents of consolidation assume that you will achieve by consolidation. particularly in the rural sites, you see it increased costs around transportation, lots more travel time for kids on buses, a much longer day. we have kids getting on the bus before daylight and they are getting off after sunset. when you factor those things into the formula of what is working, what should be the response to the small school problem -- and i do not like to think of it as a small school or small district problem -- it is a situation that exists that does not have to be problematic.

covering movements is covering mainstream america. you look at what happened during the civil rights movement. it was, you know, remarkable bravery of the kids in birming happ, but it was the pictures of what happened to them with the water cannons and the billy clubs that galvanized america. and it's our job to be there, whether it's in a place where the u.s. is waging war. yes, we must show the caskets coming home, not to mention the people who are considered the enemy also being killed, and also here and the march on washington, what is more powerful image? and we have to remember, also, that it was called the march for jobs and freedom. and 50 years later, we have to have that same march. and in fact, there is going to be that. >> so this idea of showing those -- you know, when you talk about sort of that sense of changing public opinion that occurred, especially around the birmingham children's the crusade. and one of the thing we have been pushing, pushing, pushing on the show are the moral monday protests going on in north caro

that the america that harry reid sees is so different from the america we see here in manhattan. i wish he had the faith in america that other people do. it's amazing that he can have risen to the position that he has with his view on how people are motivated. >> elected twice and i think in both elections most americans understood the president was black. this was, you know, people were making an informed decision here. so maybe america is not as racist that senator reid believes he is this is consistent of the same pattern. i remember during five or six years ago the debate whether to make english the official language. harry reid said the racist. flat out. par for the course. >> representative tim scott has come forward and said this is ridiculous. i'm sincerely disappointed by attempts to divide american people by playing to the lowest common denominator. i hope senator reid will realize the offensive nature of his remarks and apologize to those who disagree with the president's policies. let us know how you feel about. this we are sort of befuddled this morning. >> i'm speec
